German New Hampshire - Page 15

I looked tonight, don't think I have stubs, but need to actually pick them up and feel - just in case.
I have one pretty big roo, he is not quite as smooth as my favorite, but am keeping him anyway and going to try both the boys and see what happens.

Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?

Does anyone have any pictures of non German line NH they could post?  Especially picks of birds that meet the SOP. I would appreciate it.

If its on another thread here, I have missed it entirely. Thanks!

There's a whole world of differences between propagators and breeders. My goal is to propagate breeders towards the Standard of Perfection.
 
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, you can make a purse out of it, but it won't be silk. LOL
 
Maybe in about another 30-40 years I'll get this "being an expert" thing figured out by then. LOL

Morning Jeff and other BYc'ers .
  Like you I don't have any recent pic. of my roo and hen but hopefully soon.  The hen is through the molting and she looks great.  She is laying too.     The roo is trying to be dominant with my other part Eng. orp roo in their pen but no harm done so far.  Soon I will seperate them and give them their own little harem for Dec, Jan and Feb to keep warm at night with.
A little later I will try to incubate some eggs but with one hen suitable for reproducing it will be slow. 
I saw some pens at Beths that I would like to build.  They were moveable and looked great for a  small num of hens and a roo.  She has a pretty green pasture area to move them about on. 
Right now all I have are stationary.  Not good for the run to be that way , esp with a wire top.  It gets muddy even on this hill.  Thats the only part that ever smells. 
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.    Gloria Jean

Finally picked two new ladies to go with the pair that I hatched out this spring. They are in quarantine right now and can't wait to add them to the others. Hopefully this spring I'll be able to incubate a bunch of eggs and increase my NH flock. Can't wait!pop
